David Wayne Hammons

David graduated from Midland Lee High School in 1990. In 1997, he graduated from Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University) with a marketing degree. He was an active member and leader of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity and Zeta Delta Chapter – making friendships that lasted well beyond college.

David’s career included the Texas Department of Economic Development in Austin; AT&T in both San Antonio and Dallas; and Vistra in Irving.

David was a 32nd Degree Mason at Davy Crockett Lodge and a member of the Alzafar Shrine, where he was a member of the Golf Unit. He was also a volunteer with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Swing4Yellow, and the Special Olympics.

A proud Texan, David cheered proudly and often loudly for the Rangers, Cowboys, and Spurs. He loved being outdoors, whether hunting or out on the water. He had a real enthusiasm for food and took pleasure in finding the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants a town had to offer.

Family meant the world to David. He was a father to Haley Brynn and Dalton Wayne. He was the kind of uncle everyone wanted — lovingly called “Uncle Hambone”. His nieces, nephews, and a wonderful crew of “greats” made him proud.

David was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Mae Hammons. He is survived by his father, Walter Wayne Hammons; his sister Melissa and her husband Jim Albright; his former wife, Heather; his children Haley Brynn and Dalton Wayne; and a large and loving extended family who will feel his absence deeply.

A visitation for David will be held on March 23rd from 2:00 – 3:00 at Sunset Funeral, followed by a graveside burial. In lieu of flowers, donations in David’s honor can be made to the Shriners Hospital for Children.
